Excelling during stretch run Severino did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over 6.2 innings against the Reds. He struck out eight.
Impact Severino held the Reds off the board through six and nearly made it out of the seventh unscathed but a two-out RBI single by Noelvi Marte knocked Severino out with the game tied at one. It was the fourth time in his last six starts that Severino has struck out at least eight and the fourth time in five starts he's allowed no more than one earned run, holding a 1.95 ERA over that stretch. He remains a key cog in the Mets' playoff push and will look to continue the momentum in his next start, tentatively slated to take place when the Mets travel to Philadelphia for a showdown against the Phillies.

Notches 10th victory Severino (10-6) earned the win over Boston on Monday, allowing one run on six hits and two walks while striking out five batters over seven innings.
Impact Severino yielded just one extra-base hit (a triple) and threw 66 of 100 pitches for strikes. The veteran right-hander picked up just his second quality start over his past eight outings, with the other being a complete-game shutout of Miami on Aug. 17. Monday's victory was Severino's 10th of the campaign, marking the first time he has reached double-digit wins since he went 19-8 for the Yankees in 2018. Not coincidentally, 2024 is the first time he's logged 20 starts since that standout 2018 campaign.

Fans nine in no-decision Severino did not factor into the decision in a loss to Arizona on Wednesday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out nine.
Impact Severino struck out four of the first seven batters he faced before allowing Arizona's first run of the contest on an RBI single from Luis Guillorme. The right-hander was then victimized by the long ball in both the third and fourth innings and would later be relieved by Huascar Brazoban with two outs in the fifth, marking Severino's shortest outing this month. The 30-year-old veteran has now surrendered at least four runs in four of his last six starts, coughing up multiple homers in three of those outings. He'll finish the month of August with a 4.08 ERA and a solid 35:8 K:BB, going 2-2 over that stretch.

Wins second straight Severino (9-6) picked up the win over the Padres on Thursday, allowing one run on five hits and four walks over five innings while striking out five.
Impact Severino did a good job of pitching his way out of trouble through the first four innings despite surrendering five singles and a walk over that stretch. The Padres would finally get to him in the fifth, however, when the right-hander allowed the first three batters to reach, eventually leading to San Diego's first run coming home on a double play ball. Severino has now allowed one run or fewer in back-to-back starts after previously giving up at least four runs in three straight. However, Severino also matched his second-highest walk total of the campaign in Thursday's win and he's issued multiple free passes in seven of his last nine outings.

It was an impressive turnaround for Severino, who had gone 0-3 with an 8.00 ERA and 1.83 WHIP over his prior four starts. The 30-year-old is scheduled to make his next trip to the mound on the road next week in San Diego.
